Troubleshooting

Laptop does not power on

Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to both the laptop and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet. If the issue persists, contact support.

Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable

Verify you are within range of your Wi-Fi router. Restart your router and the laptop. Ensure your Wi-Fi 7 drivers are up to date via Lenovo Vantage or Windows Update.

Screen is dim or colors appear washed out

Check display brightness settings in Windows. Ensure the screen's color profile is set correctly. If the issue persists, it might indicate a hardware problem; contact support.

Applications are running slowly

Close unnecessary applications and browser tabs. Restart the laptop. Check Task Manager for processes consuming excessive resources. Ensure system and application updates are installed.

Webcam not detected or not working

Ensure the privacy shutter is open. Check if the webcam is enabled in Device Manager and ensure its drivers are installed and up to date. Close other applications that might be using the webcam.
